I am looking at buying either an aftermarket set of wheels or factory wheels from the 2013 gs350 to replace the stock wheels on my 2010 LS. I would only want to buy the new wheels if i l knew that i could turn around and sell the original ones fairly easily. Is anyone actually buying full sets of stock wheels? all 5 wheels (including the spare) are in excellent condition.

 

If I remember correctly, the pitch circle bolt PCB diameter of the bolts on GS and LS are different, such that LS cannot use GS wheels.

 

Is there an adapter you can buy??? I remember 2007-2017 Lexus LS used a different bolt pattern as well. All other RWD Lexus models use the same bolt pattern(IE all SC 1992-2000, all GS, 1993-2018, all LS 1990-2006) and wheels are interchangeable.

 

Oh I see..thats too bad because I think these wheels would look really good on my LS

 

I dunno, I kind of like the wheels on your car right now.

Lexus did sell a sport edition LS460, I think it was only after the refresh though, so like 2013ish to 2017. They have pretty cool wheels, if you can get your hands on some.

 

 

I agree that your wheels look good. There is a market for your stock wheels. Occasionally I look for them. My original (2007) wheels have really deteriorated from the salt on the NE roads. The cost of refinishing them is no saving over just buying a clean set of stock wheels. You might try listing locally, such as Craigslist, since many buyers of used wheels want to inspect them first.

 

Current wheels on your car look GREAT - if anything I might paint them a gun metal grey color.

but it's your car...

 

That's a good idea actually, because I do like the styling of the stock wheels, but the current "IN" thing is the gunmetal grey wheels. OP, you can always use plasti-dip, they sell all kinds of different shades. If you don't like it, peel it off, it doesn't harm the finish on your wheels. Powdercoating the stock wheels a metallic grey would be the ideal solution, but that is several hundred dollars, and then you have your car on jackstands while the wheels are off getting redone.

 

Powdercoating actually weakens the wheel. I opted to just paint with Duplicolor wheel paint using this method...

 

The LS went from looking gorgeous to looking "meh" when they refreshed it.

The OEM wheels on yours make the car incredibly handsome. GS wheels would look grafted on and completely out of place in my opinion.

 

wow i need you to come do my wheels that looks great! I've never had good luck with painting wheels. Must be operator error.

 

Yeah I dont hate the wheels on my car by any means but I do think going metallic grey would be a cool look.

 

Ive owned many cars and ive plasti dipped the wheels on most of them. Never turned out too great for me. Not a glossy enough finish for my taste.

 

Never plasti-dipped wheels, but holy crap that stuff is a miracle worker on faded out grey or black plastic trim. Worked wonders on my Tacoma's front bumper, looks brand new and cost like $15 for a couple cans of the stuff, been 6 months and it still looks the same as the day I applied it.

Agreed though, Plasti-dip is great if you want a matte finish, it will not give you that glossy grey look like those GS wheels posted earlier.
